Let His Will be Mine!

…contd….

Similarly, to know God’s chahat (desire/will) I need to be like Him.

Since God is Bliss, Love and Peace to know Him I should have these qualities, hence need to project them both in and out. Then and only then can I know His will. Good. Since, it’s not on cards for long time to come; I can do whatever I want to do right?

No. till then we surrender to His will – whatever it be!

A sufi saint was known to be a great healer. His son-in-law became terminally ill and Doctor’s lost hope. As per everyone’s suggestion, his daughter approached him requesting him to cure her husband. He replied “to cure your husband depends on the will of Allah. I can only pray for Allah to do as He pleases, can you take it.”

His daughter having no other choice accepted. The saint started praying daily “God let they will be done!”. After few days his son-in-law got cured completely.

It could’ve been otherwise too! So, surrender means “may things unfold as per your desire.” Praying “Lord I surrender my problem to you and you give me results that I want”. No. this sentence doesn’t make sense. Surrendarance requires tremendous amount of faith. And that faith is not verbal but one that is practical. So till that comes as a reiki channel do intention reiki. But doing intention reiki for something and then when it is getting materialized asking or doing something to get it cancelled and then crying and suffering is senseless. Just come out of this dual way of suffering. No body can decide on your behalf. You need to do that yourself. When taking a decision only thing that you should remember is ‘will this make me happy?’. If yes, go ahead and take it. Happiness means at that point of time. No body can guarantee or know how things shape up after a decision is taken. But know that you want to walk this path. That’s all! Sun can simply rise at appointed time for you but if you close your windows and doors and cry that there is no light and hence you are not able to see clearly then no body can help you. You have to work really hard – yes get up and open those doors and windows to let the sunlight come in.

When I go to meet Him, all I am afraid of hearing is “When I gave you Life to create it as per your choice why didn’t you decide for your happiness?  I only wish I can tell Him “I have exhausted all your potential you gave me. Because I know He is not interested in what ‘x’ or ‘y’ thinks. He just wants me to take decision that would keep me happy and only if I am happy can I give happiness to others in life. - Sushmita Sen

How can one beggar make other one a king? If I am a emotional wreck, what happiness can I give to others? So to give others happiness, I should first have it and for that my decisions should be one that gives me happiness. When I raise myself to his level, do you mean what it means? it means khudi ko kar itna buland ke...

The Real Growth is in Letting Go!

LETTING GO!

Three days back, my neighbour’s son left his mortal body to resume his journey elsewhere. My neighbour who is 75 years old faced the situation with such calmness and equanimity that I learnt a couple of lessons from him. For an onlooker he may have looked insensitive and uncaring, but I saw emotional balance and trust in Lord personified through him. Anybody can appear or act calm in good times, but it is in such times that the person’s real character is put to test. Most of us quote scriptures in good times.

We all can talk philosophy when we give advice to others. But when time comes to live that philosophy we usually break down. We get carried in our ego game. Under ideal conditions anybody can do extraordinary things. But in the ordinary moments of life the extra ordinary character of the person is seen, caught and known.

My regular talks with my neighbour revolved around lord’s will and the surrendrance to his will. Not to forget the belief that his will is with the best of intention in spite of it being in contradiction to my tastes and likes and dislikes. And I found that he actually lived those words when the time demanded him of it. “all the world’s a stage and all men and women mere players”- Shakespeare.

Everyone who comes must also go.

मौत पे किसकी रफ्तागिरी है,
आज उनकी तो कल हमारी बरी है.
“No one’s got a stay on death, today it’s his but tomorrow is my turn.”

Heard it so many times have we, but has it sunk in? In this world only two things are for certain- uncertainty and death. Still why can’t we accept it with equanimity and grace. After all,

हर जनम में हम पोषक ही थो बदलते है
थो फिर हमें मरने या हमारी मरने की यह क्या बात है?
“I just change the attire in each of my lives, then what is this talk of me dying or killing me?”

Once, a Zen Master went to Bombay on an official trip. His three children aged three, two and one died suddenly in his absence at Hyderabad. His wife was perplexed. She didn’t know how to pass this news to her husband. She dressed the children in the inner room for the last journey and waited in the hall for her husband to return the next day. He returned the following day. She gave him water to drink. She asked him to sit down and asked him gently “Dear, if the neighbour asks me to keep few things of theirs for safe keeping in your absence, is it fine if I do so?” He smiled. He knew his wife very well. She could never go back in helping anyone. He nodded and said “Of course, you can. I wouldn’t mind.” She gathered little courage and asked the next question. “If the same neighbour comes back and asks me to return his things to him – again in your absence, would you be angry if I do so?” Zen Master smiled and replied, “He is asking for his things. Why would I be angry if you return his items back to him.”

Wife asked the Zen Master to come in. When he saw the bodies of his three children, he immediately understood his wife’s questions and the reason behind them. He quietly asked his wife to do the needful while he went ahead with his duties.

This balance is a possibility only if our Trust and Belief in GOD is REAL and just not verbal.

We say we believe Him but, only as long as things go in our favour. A little jerk in the routine and the Trust just flies out of the window sill. Why do we always Doubt our Beliefs? Yet faithfully Believe our Doubts? Time we shift our belief to Beliefs and Doubt our doubts. When we presume things going out of hand, actually he is at work to set them right the best possible way! Remember The Little Hut story.

No, this doesn’t apply to just accepting death. It is all to remind ourselves the “Importance of Let Go” in our little sensitive Lives. The moment we term something or someone as OURS, the identification makes it difficult and many times impossible to let it/them let go – though it may be for mutual benefit and good.

We don’t let go of our negative emotions – pain, anger, sadness, jealousies, depression and like because we call them “Mine” – My anger, My pain etc।

We don’t let go of our diseases as we accept them as something that need to be lived them for rest of the life time. We have this unwritten vow with most of our diseases “till death do us apart!”. How faithful we are to our diseases!

We don’t let go of our near ones off the formalities and rituals. We bind them with the formalities and rituals. We are afraid we’ll lose them if they don’t follow any or few formalities or rituals. Guilt and accusations and the weapons used to bring them back to the old ways. Because, we are presumably safe in the known backdrop of dead rituals.

We don’t let go of our near and dear friends because we are afraid of loneliness। We feel we would be left alone for rest of the life। Though at every juncture, we have made new and better friends and moved on both in life and grown as a person with every new relationship that’s come our way। Baseless fear stops us from letting go of the dead relationships too! Who afsana jise manzil thak lana na ho mumkin use ek khoobsoorat mod dekar chodna achha ! (That relationship which cannot be lived till the end should be given a decent and a beautiful turn and left alone!)

The same applies for name, fame, success, assets and all that I address as mine.

Letting Go is an ART that’s to be learnt for sure for happy living and it reflects our Spiritual Quotient too! We are but condemned to this choice of learning this lesson of Letting Go without fail – sooner or later. Then why not now?

Letting go means we are sure that
“when things work my way – its good, but when they don’t its doubly good because His Will is in it and His Will is ALWAYS for my larger Good only – FOR SURE and EVER SO MORE!.

This is the pre-requisite lesson for satisfied, peaceful, blissful and complete Life that each one of us longs to experience and lead.

May the Divine guide you in learning this lesson of life,

revathi

How feedback is important?

Contd.....

one of you said “..I think we all like playing the victim, more than playing the survivor. I have noticed this in so many people, including myself. ..”...

Agreed you’ll fall down few times. That is expected and accepted. And it’ll be so till one becomes “Realized”. Just before “Realization” also we can falter...

Few hours before his arrest and thereby his crucifixion, Jesus became weak and prayed to God saying “Let me not give in to the weakness of flesh. Not mine, but Let They Will Be Done!”. He knew his ‘own’ will could’ve caved in to fear and would’ve averted the ‘purpose of his life’ that of ‘being crucified’. And hence, his prayer was ‘...not mine but let they will be done!’ meaning don’t bother about my desire/wish/intention and give me strength to bear the execution of ‘your will’. That’s why he became the symbol of ‘surrenderance’ to the will of God for centuries to come to not only Christians of the world but to the whole of world. Only a person who puts ‘His Will above Self’ goes on to become ‘world leader’ and ‘His Beloved Son’. He earned it the proper way.

सब चाहते है के उनके आगे ज़माना झुखे 
सब को अच्छा होने का certificate चाहिए 
इसी लिए जो सफल है उन्हें देख हम जलते है. 
सब उनकी सफलता को देखते है 
पर कोई उनका काँटों भरा ताज नहीं देखता। 

Sab chahathe hai ke unke aage zamaana jhukhe,

Sab ko achcha hone ka certificate chahiye,

Isi liye jo safal hai unhe dekh hum jalthe hai,

Sab unki safaltha ko dekhthe hai,

Par koi unka kaanton bhara taaj nahin dekhtha.....

Everyone wants the world to fall at their feet,

Everyone wants to be called a good man,

And hence maybe they envy all those who have them both,

Everyone looks at their success,

But no one sees the ‘crown of thorns’ that these people wear.....

Similarly, Vishwamitra after doing penance for 1000 years without food or water would break the fast by eating one day and then continue the penance along with fasting for next 1000 years. This way, he did intense tapas for 4000 years and earned immense ‘energy’ and Indra (Lord of Heaven) frightful of losing his seat sent Maneka to entice him and break his penance. She followed his command, did same and Sage lost his concentration and led a conjugal life forgetting his mission for many years. When he was blessed with a daughter, named her Shakuntala and then he became of the state he had reduced himself to and left Maneka and his daughter to continue his ‘tapas’.

So, you see people of that stature had also faltered many times before they realized their ‘full potential’ and ‘mission of life’.

contd.....

On belief and Trust!

 

On belief and Trust!

Belief doesn’t mean “He has to fulfill my wish!”

Belief means “Whatever happens to me, with me it is for my good ONLY. Because, in it is His wish!

If I lose, I accept! Not because I lack ability, not because, I like losing, not because I don’t like to win. No!

I love to win!

I hate to lose!

And I have ability to win too! Yet, if I am losing inspite of giving my 100%, then HE wishes I lose. And that lose is acceptable to me. Because, I believe He loves me. I believe His love wants ONLY the right thing for me.

I believe HE SEES something good in losing too!

So, I accept losing. As I see it as His Prasada!

Because, I BELIEVE in HIM!”

This is the ‘Belief’ that Arjuna had in Krishna!

Do we have this belief?

Why? 

Think about it.........

# surrender, belief, His will, my desires,

read the above link to read a simple story explaining the 'surrender'

read it to understand what it means to surrender...

Pointers in this post : 

* And I have ability to win too! - This is to stress that surrender doesn't mean we sit idle and expect someone else to do the job for us! No one is waiting on us here to do such jobs! We have to do exercise, eat right, live right, get exposed to Sun to receive vit D - inspite of doing everything if we fall sick then in that is His will!

By eating and drinking to our hearts content and at Times when even cock sleeps, if we fall sick, in that His will is not included.......it is purely our KARMA!

Don't misunderstand the 'right sentence' or interpret it with logic and think you have been cheated by God/Universe/Reiki/Guru.......

meditate on these things to get clarity of thought.....

On Chanting!

 

 Contd.....

On Chanting!

One person does sadhan just to change his attitude. He accepts flaw in his attitude. He seeks ‘mercy’ in exchange for his sadhan.

While the Other person thinks he is ‘right’ and deserves to receive he demands his wishes.

Who do you think receives ‘blessings’ in the form of wish fulfillment?

The other agrees that he is not with right attitude. He is ever working on his attitude. He just ‘serves’ as a way to give back for all he has received. Who receives abundance?

One is grateful even for the pain and suffering and is ever singing praises of the Lord for being with him.

While the other starts his statement with ‘yes, yes, I agree I received but….’. By saying but he is ever negating all that is given to him by the ‘Lord’. What is the attitude that his every complaint and his whiny nature expresses?

Now, you tell which attitude will attract more miracles in his life?

One is counting his blessing, while the other his ‘yet to be fulfilled list of desires’. Who do you think is genuinely grateful?

One is bitter and complaining. He is ever demanding with /but I didn’t receive this or such things /experiences didn’t happen to me’. He is looking at what others have and desires what others have. 

 Contd.....

# on giving and receiving, giving without expectations, intention and its effect on receiving, expectations and receipt, life and its rules, laws of nature, abundance and its secret...

Questions addressed : 

• Why do miracles happen so often in some peoples' life while others are ever complaining of never having experienced it?
• Does miracle happen to all?
• How are intent and character connected? 
• How is character basis of our destiny or what we receive?

Points to address :

• Why do we turn blind eye to our intent?
• When we complain we look at what others receive and what we desire. If only we look at what their intent and attitude is and what our intent is, we would unlock the key to abundance in our life?
• Use your mind the right way. Let your question show you where your problem is. Now your question points accusing fingers at others. Change that. 
• If you want results like others, also develop their attitude.
